14/4/2020 Rice CongeeĀBelow is my recipe for Chinese Rice Congee. It is a traditional meal to have for digestive upset or when you feel the flu might be starting. Energetically, wet cooked rice strongly nourishes Stomach Yin and fluids and the ginger harmonizes digestion, resolves bloating and phlegm.
